Relief From Grind Of T Child Care

Dear Mary Hawurth: I am only' an aunt. it is true; but I have ob-, scrvcd- and read about- and lis-

..tcned to. quite a few younsl mothers. And I have learned that often. when these young women begin to talk of setting I i0b-, 11. is because theylve been keepuiii their nose too close to the ilrlnd-I stone at home. Constant child care has got their nerves on eds?-

Thus I should like to say a few words to your correspondent of March 23. who can't win her hus-i bandls consent to becoming I wage earner. He says her Place is at home with the chdd. Your advice was sensible. too. You ex- plained why she ought to thank. Providence for any domestic ar-. rangcnicnt. however humble. that. permits her to supervise and share; her child's experiences. in the crucially important pre -. "-chool years when the foundations of character are being laid.

To all of us. and to mothers es- pociuliy. toddlers are darling. Iiut also, to e v e r y o n e, includingi mothers. they can be exhausting -- always active. requiring atten-i tion. until you want to scream if. you stay with them long. In fact.l ii cliiid specialist in charge of ai successful clinic told me. once- that nothing is more nerve-wrack- inn than working with young chil- dren on a full-time basis. I-POINT PLAN

So- for your con-espondent's benefit. may I suggest: 1. Plan ahead for free periods each week - say, one, or. better. two after- noons a week -- when a baby sitter or a relative takes over. Expect to have fun during this relief period. You may go out: or you may stay in: but let the sub- stitute keep baby out of trouble. You will return to duty refreshed.

2. Think of homemaking as a real career. which it certainly is. one that challenges both mind and hr-ari. It calls for a wide variety of iouidinated skills- in cooking. marketing- budgeting. child train- ing and good neighbor effective- ness.

and perhaps of mutual services. You might take turns baby-sitting. or perhaps even for a cooperative play school or nursery school. And this would relieve one bugaboo of young motherhood. namely. the isolation from other adults.

Finally. remember that the bet- ter housewife you are. the further your husband's money will stretch- and the prouder he will be of you; - and of himself, in being mar-i ried to you. E. D.. . . . . . . . . . .. SOUND IDEAS

Dear E. D.: Your specific sug- gestions are sound. They show that you do have a sympathetici grasp of the child-rearing assign-i mcnt, And- by implication. your second my motion that. in the; main. a mother's contribution to family teamwork is probably most valuable. if made in terms of being a homemaker rather than a wage-c:ii'ncr.

Speaking of the role that a mother can play. in supervising- a child's crucially important pre- school years. when the oundations of character are being laid-I think it is well to realize that "character is destiny." as some- one has said.

As I remarked in the previous discussion children are children a, very short time. And in this brief period their general well - being, which will determine their later, history. is altogether at the mercy. of their daily caretaker-whoeveri that may be. And with few ex-I ceptions- a natural mother is the: most trustworthy agent in this performance.

MAKE FRIENDS

The secret of being a construe-I tive homemaker is. simply. to make friends with the job, I think.i Aa- one young mother reflected re-i cently- in my iieiiriiig: "At firatl the whole thing overwhelms you Later. as you accept the fact tha you aren't footloose. and get all--. justed to the daily groove- you find order emerging: and you have- time for a number of recreational
